oh no no no.  i'm an actress too.  i just mean, i don't have to wait to get
cast or wait to get a rehearsal space to write...i can do it by myself,
anywhere.  i practice my acting only when i'm working on a solo piece..and
then i need my director around to edit my choices.  i don't know that actors
and directors have to do their craft everyday...but writers and musicians
have to...maybe i'm wrong...if so then i stand corrected.  the writer is the
only craftsperson in theatre who works alone, everyone else is doing
communal work.  i don't mean to be disrespectful to the arts of acting or
directing, or privilege writing.
